I've found cowboy boots to be very slippery on snow or ice. This person's credibility is sinking fast...
And the leather soles get mushy...and the salt used to melt the ice absolutely shreds the leather just above the stitching when it dries out. Western boots suck in the snow, and it's a quick way to ruin them. Even rubber-soled ones like some of Ariat's don't last, but they're better on wet surfaces.
It's kind of wild how tons of people in Alberta wear them considering the climate
If they put hiking boot soles on them they could be OK. I suppose you could add "spikes" yourself for winter. Like these: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=shoe+spikes+winter&iax=images&ia=images
Those are riding boots, or dress boots. They also make Western style boots with rugged soles for work. I have a pair and they're outstanding on all terrain, including snow. Here's an example:

If you step in mud, wouldn't your boot slide off?
If you step in deep mud, and keep walking, then it could. That's not really a terrain feature where I live. Our soil has good drainage.
Fair.
That's some letterkenny shit rt
I got them because we decided not to wear shoes inside our house, and unlacing my work boots several times per day was a real PITA. These take about two seconds to take off or put on.
You must not have enough points in style or cool.
